Me & my girlfriend are together for like 2months and we are totally in love with eachother, we know we are soulmates. Lastweek she asked me what i want for my birthday in december, first i didnt told her anything and i kept saying she can give me whatever she likes coz i was feeling shy. somehow she made me say what i want and now i feel bad coz the gift is about 500$ i was going to buy this thing myself but then i started saving for our diamond wedding ring. Now did i asked for too much for a birthday gift?

Being together just two months, a $500 gifts seems pretty steep. If she has a lot of money, it may be fine but if she is an average working girl, $500 is a LOT of money. I honestly think that is pretty steep and maybe you should give her a few other ideas in case she can't afford such an expensive gift. But don't tell her why you are giving her the other options. Just tell her you thought a couple of other things you might want as well and she can pick from the three of four ideas you have in mind. This will give her a chance to buy something she can afford and knows you like without embarrassing her if she can't afford the higher priced gift.
But that's just me. She may have the money and want to spend it on the gift you really want.

That was a really good suggestion Wotfpatty!
I myself am not good at telling people what I would like, I dont accept gifts very well either. When I ask my husband what he would like, he always says another birthday! lol Dont we all?
I really hate when people ask me what I want, I usually say nothing because I feel so selfish naming somthing specific.

Well, in the case that she was the one really asking what you like for your birthday, then you must not feel guiolty about it. She also know if she could have the money to give it to you. She can even explain to you that no matter how much she wanted to give you the gift, she cant afford it. Then thats it...

Demit men for,
just 2month and you are asking for $500,not half a year, not a year. it is too much men. don't you know how girls can trick someone just to know about the person. Your dignity makes you a real man, you should have keep it by still insisting on her giving you what she want from her heart. That amount will make her feel this is a guy of high taste little thing he will never appreciate.
Think about it men.
and i wish happy birtday.cheers

I think it's not too much. It's still her prerogative to buy the gift for you or not. Well, she did buy it so I guess it means that she really wanted you to be happy at any cost. Just consider yourself lucky that you have found her.

I can't really say if that's too much because it solely depends on your partner's lifestyle. If she thinks that 500 bucks is just nothing, then it will be very ok. But if your girl is not that wealthy enough, that will really be too much. I think, money is not important in a relationship. It's up to both of you how you go over it.

hmnn... you never what is too much for her. If she asked you for it..that means she really cares. She doesn't want to bu a gift which you don't like. So, she made you confessed what do you like. Well, $500 is not too much. SHe can afford it. If she can't, she will tell you. If a girl loves you, she can even buy half of the world.
